No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.
It's a libel to say that I use my newspapers to support my other business interests. The fact is, I haven't got any other business interests.
We've got to lift our game tremendously. We'll sell our business news and information in print, we'll sell it to anyone who's got a cable system, and we'll sell it on the Web.
One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business.
Money is not the motivating force. It's nice to have money, but I don't live high. What I enjoy is running the business.
The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.
When you're a catalyst for change, you make enemies - and I'm proud of the ones I've got.

So long as I can stay mentally alert - inquiring, curious - I want to keep going. I love my wife and my children, but I don't want to sit around at home with them. We go on safaris and things like that. I can do that for a couple of weeks a year. I'm just not ready to stop, to die.
In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
